A tree full of acorns left by a woodpecker
Trypophobia alert ๐ซฃ
This is an Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus) from Central America & Western United States, filling his acorn larder
If Trypophobia is new to you, it is an aversion to the sight of repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps
A bench in a fallen oak tree
The Blenheim Estate lost an oak, and as they like their fallen trees to remain in place to encourage wildlife, they asked artist Matthew Crabb to do his magic

The wind is gusting to 45mph in our garden
Our avian residents are taking shelter. Even Big Dave is on his latest new branch, since our gravity challenged pigeon broke his last one
But through the sweeping rain there is the silhouette of a male blackbird bathing
A single white bluebell in a sea of naturally coloured bluebells
As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon
It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find it
The darker it gets, the more you shine
Do not lose your humanity
